Pressing E brings up a radial menu of combat talk options and you can quickly select one.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-67130834970722574442012-03-28T05:17:20.584-07:002012-03-28T05:17:20.584-07:00It seems that being an ass-hat is the norm in all ...It seems that being an ass-hat is the norm in all MMO games right now, rather than the exception. Maybe it's time to introduce drop down menus for speech rather than allowing people to type abuse in chat channels. <br />Let's face it, in a BG all I need to know is "Inc BS", and I certainly don't need to see "wtf u doin noobs? ffs u suk" every single time I play.*vlad*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-36481583706000170232012-03-26T16:26:59.725-07:002012-03-26T16:26:59.725-07:00TERA combat is a bit more flexible than a traditio...TERA combat is a bit more flexible than a traditional MMO, but not as free form as a typical action game. Your skills still root you in place for the duration, so it becomes more of a tactical position game rather than something a bit more free form such as Kingdoms of Amalur, the God of War series or Devil May Cry.Tramellhttp://www.gamerbc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-80708743436582798202012-03-26T16:03:14.536-07:002012-03-26T16:03:14.536-07:00I liked what I'd seen of Tera so far - the wor...I liked what I'd seen of Tera so far - the world is beatiful and the combat seems to be something new in the MMO world - but indeed, I was put off as soon as I saw the loli's; I could handle the large amount of skin being shown but that was just too much. I had hoped it'd be just my imagination running loose that it would affect the gameplay, but now that you are confirming it I'm a little disappointed. Bringing this game to a Western market, they should've toned down on the neko.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746245357258596482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-15416231938965183752012-03-26T10:45:02.098-07:002012-03-26T10:45:02.098-07:00I haven't played Kingdoms of Amalur, but I hav...I haven't played Kingdoms of Amalur, but I have tried Vindictus.<br /><br />TERA combat is sort of in-between Vindictus and WoW. It's actually kind of hard to explain this, because on paper TERA sounds more like Vindictus than WoW. But somehow the pacing of the fight is more like WoW, at least in the early levels.<br /><br />That's probably a pretty bad explanation, but if WoW and Vindictus were on a spectrum, I'd put TERA in the middle somewhere.<br /><br />Of course, the non-combat aspects are all much more like WoW, with an an actual world rather than a lobby-based system.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-66169865347020346522012-03-26T10:35:19.875-07:002012-03-26T10:35:19.875-07:00If you are familiar with them, how does Tera's...If you are familiar with them, how does Tera's combat compare to games like Vindictus or Kingoms of Amalur?

Since this game will have a sub I guess 95% of the "idiots" are gone with rls. Question is if this is worht its money. I dont see me playing this game for months. D3 hits the stores one week later. Dont know wich one I will pick up to get time passed till the interessting stuff comes out. Like TSW or GW2.Jokklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106884629320928775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-28555492859497766642012-03-26T02:15:38.341-07:002012-03-26T02:15:38.341-07:00I also have to wonder at En Masse's choice of ...I also have to wonder at En Masse's choice of marketing strategy for the game.

I mean I am usually alright with a little bit of the bikini-plate but TERA goes overboard, then all the way to the bottom of the ocean, back up, and leaps back onto the ship to dive overboard again.<br /><br />Well here's to hope for Guild Wars 2.Clockworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565064315360664711noreply@blogger.com
